Red Heart Note Card

Hello,

I haven't made a card in months.  So to get back into card making I started with a CAS card from Stampin' up! magazine.

The original card used texture card stock.  I added the cloud background from  Darice.  The tree trunk was hand cut and finished off with a heart shape button tied with twine.

Thanks for stopping by!

60th Candle Box

Hello,

I made six of these for a lady.  It is a very simple box.  I used Core Destination cream color shimmery card stock and soft yellow.  I don't like using yellow but these two combinations with a touch of green turned out pretty nice.

You can find the mini rose tutorial on the side bar.  Box tutorial here.

Crochet Owl Fingerless Gloves

Hello,

After making the owl hat for my daughter, I thought I will give the owl fingerless gloves a try and here they are.


I don't have any black button on hand and I tried to add black beat for the eye balls but they didn't look good so I just leave the eyes plain.  I think they still look cute though.

I knit the cuffs using the double pointed needle.  There is no seam and the cuffs are super stretchy.  After I bindded off the cuffs, I followed this pattern here for the increase.

Thanks for looking.

Easel Box For Battery Tealight

Hello,

I made a few battery tea light boxes.  I wanted to see how this purple and white look.  The color didn't turn out as nice as I thought.

I wanted to see how a little bit of green will do. I thought it didn't make much of a different either.

Have a marvelous Monday!

Green Knitted Scarf

Hello,

Winter has finally caught up with us. It is very cold. We haven't had this kind of cold winter for several years.  I don't have proper winter accessories.  I wanted a nice looking scarf so I found one at Ravelry.
The original color is blue and it is absolutely beautiful.  You can see it here.  I don't know where to get the same type of yarn so I got this bulky yarn at Joann Fabric.

The pattern is very easy to follow and because of the bulky yarn the scarf was very fast to knit.  However, this is the reason I don't like knit scarf. Its end roll down.  The top picture showed part of the scarf on the right side folded down.

Here is how the scarf suppose to look it.

I took the scarf apart and redo it.  This time I added 4 extra stitches on the right side hopping this will flatten out the scarf but that didn't help. This is the wrong side of the scarf showing the right side folded in. I took the last 2 pictures on cloudy day so the color of the scarf seemed to change.

I was hopping the scarf  will turn out like this.

I am going to try this in cotton yarn to see if it make any different. 

Until then .....

Have a wonderful weekend!
